Rhythm + Flow On Netflix Is The Push Rap Needed To Give New Artists Life

I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, yea... Shout out to Londynn B for that banger! I’m lowkey too hype writing this---but I swear Netflix was on to something when they got Cardi B, Chance Tha Rapper, and T.I. to host a gimmicky yet certified Hip-Hop show searching for the next Rap superstar. Superstar might be a stretch, but Rhythm + Flow got all the juice. In the words of Snoop Dogg, “This ain't The Voice muh fuckah!”

Off rip, the A-List trio gathered equally established A-List stars to help put on for their cities. Guest judges such as Snoop Dogg, Big Boi, Quavo, Jadakiss, Twista, Fat Joe, Lupe Fiasco, Killer Mike, and star producers such as Tay Keith, Hit-Boy, London On Da Track, SounWave, and more, advised and worked with each artist as they help develop them across 10 episodes of the binge-worthy series. The late Nipsey Hussle was also in an episode schooling new talent.

Flow’s episodes featured everything from cyphers and battles raps, to music videos and samples. T.I.’s vocabulary didn't disappoint and Cardi’s unfiltered personality made her a national treasure. (Pause) Cardi’s unfiltered mouth is a gift to humanity! #CardiB2020 (Continue) At the time of writing this, the R&B collaborations episode was my favorite but the finale also came with the heat. The Collaborations episode allowed us to rock to fresh remixes of classics by Ty Dolla $ign, Teyana Taylor, Jhene Aiko, and Tory Lanez. D Smoke set flames to the stage and by the end of the episode I was at home yelling, “Talk that shit Smoke! / Walk that shit Smoke! / Bark that shit Smoke! / Argh, Argh, Argh, Argh!,” after his Skywalker collab with R & B star Miguel.

Rhythm + Flow offered undiscovered artists from across all regions of America the chance to perform live on Spotify’s Rap Caviar and $250,000k if the took the season 1 crown. Not to be a complete spoiler, but the final episode included Londynn B, Flawless Real Talk, D Smoke, and TroyMan, each performing originals with full creative control. TroyMan murdered the game and everyone who followed demonstrated why they made it to the finals. Flawless Real Talk delivered a heartfelt performance while Londynn B burned the stage down with a medley of London On Da Tracks produced bangers!

In the end, D Smoke came out on top after his assortment of hits which featured production by the Academy Award-nominated SounWave. Smoke’s blend of Spanish and conscious rap exhibited a unique style that was rarely duplicated as he danced on the fine line of art and street in every bar. Even though everyone didn't win, most walked away with the opportunity to continue recording projects with the superstar producers and have noticed a huge spike in social media.

Bruno Mars comes home this week, but the pop music megastar’s welcome came five months ago, when his first two announced shows each sold out in a couple of hours. A third was added and sold out just as quickly, and now the moment his fans waited months for is finally here.

For the fourth time, the Roosevelt grad born here as Peter Hernandez is back, bringing his mega-successful 24K Magic World Tour to Honolulu for a little homestand.

This visit is his biggest yet, befitting of his ever-growing profile, as he revives Aloha Stadium as a viable concert facility with a venue-record three sold-out shows, capping a 213-concert tour that spanned six continents, 38 countries and nearly two years.

About 110,000 fans will attend the three shows, reinforcing the pop-music superstar’s description of his home state in a 2011 web documentary.

“They got love, man,” Mars said then. “Hawaii … this place is the best.”

Hawaii earns the nickname “The Aloha State” in many ways. From the lei we give out on special occasions to the way we always make sure our potlucks have too much food rather than too little. From the aloha shirts many businessmen favor over three-piece suits to the way we welcome guests — both into our state and into our homes.

But some of our greatest aloha is expressed in the way we support our own.

24K MAGIC WORLD TOUR >> Where: Aloha Stadium >> When: 7 p.m., Nov. 8, 10 and 11 (doors open at 5:30 p.m.) >> Tickets: $49.50 and up, available at Ticketmaster.com >> Guest acts: Charlie Wilson (Nov. 8); The Green and Common Kings (Nov. 10 and 11) Every Little League team that makes it to the World Series — which only seems to happen every other year — gets the full weight of the state behind it. When Mililani’s Jasmine Trias and Maui’s Camile Velasco were “American Idol” finalists, the show became appointment television from Kalapana to Kekaha, and our telephone votes carried Trias to a third-place finish.

So when one of our own becomes perhaps the biggest pop star in the world? Well, it’s like we ourselves are along for the ride — singing along to every No. 1 song, gushing over every Super Bowl halftime show, celebrating every Grammy Award win.

And when that pop star comes home for a visit? We throw the biggest party we can.

The hoolaulea for Hawaii’s own Bruno Mars begins Thursday at Aloha Stadium. It lasts for three concerts across four nights, with more than 100,000 of his closest friends having already RSVP’d, “Hell yes.”

BRUNO BY THE NUMBERS >> 19: Top 40 singles >> 11 million: Albums sold >> 79 million: Singles sold >> 7: No. 1 singles as a performer >> 8: No. 1 singles as a songwriter >> 32: Weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 >> 32: Countries where Mars has had a No. 1 single >> 11: Grammy Awards won >> 27: Grammy nominations >> 14.049 billion: Total YouTube views for Bruno Mars’ official music videos 24K MAGIC WORLD TOUR >> Miles traveled: 113,201 >> Days: 594 >> Shows: 213 >> Continents: 6 >> Countries: 38 >> States: 29 >> Cities: 123 >> Stops: 141

Take away something as simple as birthplace and Mars is still very much the kind of pop megastar Hawaii fans would love. Start with the fact that he’s half Filipino. So rare has it been for us to see Asians and Polynesians in the national limelight that we grab on for dear life when one — be it in music, movies or sports — rises to national or worldwide prominence, even if he’s not from Hawaii. A Steve Perry-less Journey would not sell out one concert here if it weren’t led by Arnel Pineda, a singer from the Philippines. In the world of sports, Ichiro Suzuki, Troy Polamalu and Jeremy Lin were local faves.

But the “half” in Mars’ ethnic makeup is as important as the “Filipino” to a state that has three times as many multiracial residents per capita as any other state, for we also pride ourselves on our multiculturalism. Sure, racial prejudice exists in Hawaii, but we’re still the state with the most ethnic variety, and Mars embodies that diversity — his father is most prominently Puerto Rican and Jewish and his late mother was Filipino, but he has flecks of other ethnicities laced in with those. For a state of “poi dogs,” one moving the most assuredly toward a true post-racial society, who better to identify with than a pop star who defies racial categorization?

And Mars is a big enough star that even if he wasn’t from Hawaii, the coming shows would be significant. That said, the fact that Mars is “one of us” certainly adds to the fervor surrounding his arrival on these shores this week. And let’s face it — he probably wouldn’t be coming here if he weren’t from here. Honolulu is on one of its greatest runs of concerts in many years, but while more and more stars are finding their way to our islands, the biggest are not visiting at their peak the way Mars is. We’re getting some great acts, but we’re not getting the Taylor Swifts, the Ed Sheerans, the Beyonces of contemporary pop music. Will that change? Mars’ three sellouts seem to have opened the door to more shows at the stadium, with the Eagles and Guns N’ Roses due in December, and there are rumblings that other stars could be on their way.

Whatever happens down the road, with Mars coming to town, Honolulu for once is included in a worldwide tour by an artist in the upper stratosphere. Mars’ 24K Magic Tour has sold well past 2 million tickets worldwide, with revenue surpassing $250 million. The album it was named after was the second-best seller of 2017. Overall, Mars has certified sales of more than 90 million records/downloads in the U.S. alone less than a decade after he put himself on the map with a smooth guest spot on rapper B.o.B.’s chart-topping “Nothin’ on You.”

All of which serves as a reminder of another reason Hawaii loves Bruno: He always remembers where he came from.

BACK TO WHERE IT ALL STARTED

ALBUMS

“Doo-Wops & Hooligans” (2010) >> Peak: No. 3 >> Sales: 5 million copies >> Singles: “Just the Way You Are” (No. 1 for 4 weeks, 9 million); “Grenade (No. 1 for 4 weeks; 7 million); “It Will Rain” (No. 3, 3 million); “The Lazy Song” (No. 4, 3 million)

The pop superstar born in Honolulu as Peter Hernandez has brought his show to town for the tours following all three of his albums, with each visit growing on pace with his skyrocketing career — from one sold-out show at Blaisdell Arena to three there and now three at Aloha Stadium, a venue with about four times the capacity of the arena. For his hometown fans, it was a long wait through a tour that has gone on for almost two years, but in the end he did not forget about us.

Mars’ backstory is well-known, and it both adds to the Bruno Mars mythology and makes him that much more likable.

He started his career as a 4-year-old Elvis impersonator in Waikiki and entertained at hotel shows throughout his youth. During a “60 Minutes” profile in November 2016, he also recollected, with no negativity or sense of self-pity, how he spent part of his childhood homeless, living with his father and brother in an abandoned shack in Manoa Valley.

Mars has credited his humble beginnings for his work ethic and his start in Waikiki for his broad appeal.

“Because of my upbringing performing for tourists, I had to entertain everyone. Not just black people, not just white people, not just Asian people, not just Latin people. I had to perform for anybody that came to Hawaii,” Mars told Rolling Stone for a November 2016 cover story. (Mars had not granted the Star-Advertiser an interview at press time.)

That requirement to entertain all comers has also resulted in a command of various musical styles. His latest album, 2016’s “24K Magic,” is pretty much a straight-up tribute to old-school R&B and funk, but his prior two albums showed off his versatility as a singer and his dexterity at crossing genres, with forays into belted balladry (the soaring yet somber “When I Was Your Man”); post-punk reggae-rock (the Police-inspired “Locked Out of Heaven”); folksy, island-inflected pop whimsy (“The Lazy Song”); and even an amalgam of styles including Motown and surf rock (“Runaway Baby”).

Those songs and those sounds all come from Bruno. In an era in which so many pop stars lean on hitmakers such as producers Max Martin and Benny Blanco, Mars has had a hand in writing and producing every song he’s appeared on. He works with outside producers at times — most notably Mark Ronson, with whom he recorded the megahit “Uptown Funk” — but compared with his peers, such collaborations are minimal. More commonly, Mars and his production teams — previously The Smeezingtons and now Shampoo Press & Curl — work in the opposite direction, shepherding hits for such artists as Adele (“All I Ask”) and CeeLo Green (“Forget You”), the former earning him one of his 11 Grammys.

SHOWMAN BRINGS THE MAGIC

Mars takes that same hands-on approach with his dancing, that extra something-something that takes him from star musician and singer to maybe the best showman currently working, a worthy successor to great entertainers such as James Brown and Michael Jackson.

Phil Tayag, one of the founding members of the renowned hip-hop dance crew the Jabbawockeez, works with Mars on many of his routines — peep him in the video for “Finesse,” among others — but won’t go so far as to call himself Mars’ choreographer.

“He’s not one of those artists that just wants somebody to prepare something for him,” Tayag told MTV.com in January. “We build everything together. He is very involved in all aspects of what he does when it comes to music production and everything. So it’s the same with dancing and creating and choreographing — super involved. … I was thinking in the beginning that he was just one of these artists that wants to be fed this choreography and all that, but he’s not. He’s super involved in everything, so we create together. He is a choreographer as well.”

The choreography is one part of translating powerfully sung songs to a live platform. Mars sees the brotherhood — in one case literal — he shares with his eight-piece band, the Hooligans, as an even more essential part.

“I think the best part of our show is that you can tell that we’re all friends up there,” Mars said in a documentary short posted to his YouTube page, “and you go in thinking, like, ‘Oh, OK, I’m gonna go see this guy sing these love songs,’ but then you kinda get a treat, you get … one of my best friends, (sideman and writing partner) Philip Lawrence, and me and him are just having the time of our life. You got my brother (Eric Hernandez) on drums, and I think that’s where the magic happens.”

In Mexico, native healers known as the curanderos used cannabis, or pipiltzintzintli, in their practice to treat a variety of conditions. The shamans believed there was a correlation between medicinal plants and divine spirits, a notion that didn't sit well with the Spanish church. "Towards the end of the 17th Century, the Catholic Church caught wind of this and banned cannabis, spreading rumors that people who used it were in communion with the devil and would go crazy," says Steve DeAngelo, one of the world's leading cannabis activists and founder of California's Harborside Health Center.

As a result of the church's anti-pipiltzintzintli propaganda, Mexico's cannabis consumers were forced underground to hide their affinity for the plant. There, a new lexicon was born. By combining the Catholic-friendly word Mary with the Spanish word for things, huana, one of the first codewords for cannabis came into existence. "Mari-juana," literally "Mary's things" became the secret way of identifying pot. "If you were talking about Mary, no one would suspect something bad," says DeAngelo.

Fast forward to the mid-1960s – San Francisco's Haight Ashbury, London's UFO Club, New York's Greenwich Village – areas of great momentum where centuries of conservatism were being provoked by a counterculture revolution. "A high and beautiful wave," Hunter S. Thompson would call it in his 1971 Rolling Stone epic, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Peering westward from Sin City, Thompson reflected on the "high-water mark…where the wave finally broke and rolled back," referring to the honeymoon-phase of the revolution.

But by 1970, Nixon, like the Catholic Church before him, saw cannabis as a threat to his authority. He approved it as a Schedule I drug, a signal to law enforcement that pot was potentially more dangerous than opium, methamphetamine and cocaine. It didn't take long before a new code word came into existence. For decades, "420" was the way to whisper one’s approval of cannabis without letting the authorities onto your actions, a "Mary's things" of the War on Drugs. Only 420 had the added dimension of referring not just to all things cannabis, but cementing a continually recurring time and date. Perhaps this was the most integral factor to piggybacking an entire legalization movement off a lowly, three-number glyph, affording enthusiasts a specific time to meetup, and potentially organize. But as we stand on the precipice – with 29 states offering some form of legalized pot, and eight fully legalizing it – does this national day of organizing really matter anymore?

In 1971, the same autumn that Thompson was mourning the counterculture, somewhere around harvest time, a group of San Rafael High School students, known as "the Waldos" because they liked to congregate outside class against the wall, inherited a map. It allegedly led to a crop of abandoned cannabis plants near the Point Reyes Peninsula Coast Guard station, just up the coast from San Francisco. The friends planned to meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to see if the map was real. For weeks, the Waldos gathered at 4:20 and hopped in a '66 Chevy Impala, smoking joints the whole way out. The Waldos never actually found the hidden treasure, yet the term "420" became embedded in their dialogue, referring to their favorite plant while teachers and parents were conveniently left in the dark.

While the Waldos pioneered the term, their connections with the inner circle of the Grateful Dead catapulted the propagation of 420 into our language. One Waldo’s father helped the Dead with real estate, another Waldo brother was tight with Phil Lesh, and all of the Waldos had all-access passes to the Dead's rehearsals, shows, and after parties, where the term was put to good use during the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1989, a festival called "Hemp Tour" picked up where the Grateful Dead left off. Originally, it started as a book tour supporting hemp activist Jack Herer's seminal work The Emperor Wears No Clothes – Herer, DeAngelo and some buddies on a 16-date run at midwestern college campuses. The tour consisted of a traveling hemp museum, readings and lectures from Herer's book. Hemp Tour's demonstrations became wildly popular, and students jumped aboard the tour bus to join the movement, forming the Cannabis Action Network. When the initial tour came to an end, says D’Angelo, they decided to continue their journey on the road, following the Dead to hundreds of shows a year.

"420 jumped from this close knit Bay Area Grateful Dead family to Hemp Tour, and Hemp Tour immediately went to work spreading the idea that there was a holiday to be celebrated, making patches and posters referencing 420 to sell at Dead shows," DeAngelo recalls. "That's what really publicized this thing all across the country and then, all across the world."

"April 20th is the most significant day in the weed world, celebrating and bringing together people from all walks of life that have one common philosophy: the burning of the herb and upliftment of the mind," says Ganja Labs CEO Balram Vaswani, who's producing Jamaica's first legal harvest under the country's new medical marijuana law. Much like the curanderos of the Seventeenth century, cannabis is being used across the world, once again, to mitigate symptoms of disease, pain, and illness while reconnecting users to the divine. And, according to advocates, it's still important to celebrate.

"420 is positive, because it's raised a lot of conversations and discussions about the plant," says Damian Marley, who recently announced a plan to convert a former 77,000-square-foot California prison into a licensed medical marijuana grow facility. "If anything, it's probably more relevant today than ever – because of legalization."

For many proponents of 420, legalization means much more than decriminalization, expungement, and nascent, restrictive medical marijuana programs. Activists believe cannabis legalization endgame comes in the form of uninhibited, unfettered access to the plant, affording people the opportunity to benefit without interference – a reason why "home-grow" allowances have entered the debate across so many states.

"I could see April 20th becoming an official holiday worldwide as marijuana continues to decriminalize and legalize around the world," says Vaswani. Snoop Dogg, legendary rapper and cannabis trailblazer, agrees that 420 should stick around. "This magical plant positively impacts all sorts of industries – health, tech, business, sports. 420 is one of my favorite days because the whole world comes together for a smoke in celebration of it," he says. "Puff, puff pass."

We're on our way. 420 festivals are occurring across the globe in places like England, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Germany, India, and New Zealand. Diverse groups of people gather to celebrate the plant, educate one another and peacefully protest. But this burgeoning global popularity of 420 is simply a shoal from which the next wave of revolution is forming.

"When you look at the number of people who can benefit from the medical use of cannabis and the number of people who are actually benefiting from it, there's a gap of millions upon millions of people who are suffering needlessly," says DeAngelo. "There's a great deal of activist work that still needs to be done."

Prohibition is restrictive and divisive. 420 events bring everyone together, imbuing a sense of empowerment. When everyone stands together with a common goal, the collective conscious swells to create change. "Even if our activist work were complete, 420 morphs from a statement of conscience to a celebration of acceptance, a celebration of victory, a celebration of our amazing connection with this plant," says DeAngelo. "I don't think that ever stops. I think it will always be worthy of celebration."
